This is a simple solution when you find no waffle mix in the pantry. I thoroughly enjoyed the results. There was just enough mix to make three full waffles; a perfect number for two adults. Thanks so much for a great recipe.

Followed the recipe to the letter and these were very thin, didn't rise but tasted okay

Hi Charleen,

Flour absorbs more or less moisture depending on the humidity in the environment. As in all baking, if your batter is too thin for what you're making, add a little extra flour; if too thick, add a little more liquid to adjust. Pancake batter usually has the consistency of heavy cream.

If the pancakes didn't rise sufficiently, check your baking powder or self-rising flour. Toss self-rising flour that is older than about 4 or 5 months for best results. And baking powder should be replaced every 6-8 months, or when you notice it's not working well anymore. It's possible that some moisture got into your baking powder can (always use a dry measuring spoon).

Hope this helps!

Simple, easy and cheap. Batter was just right. Self-rising flour was new. Will make again.

Easy and tasty!
